I'm a tremendous believer and supporter in hip-hop and rap.

I like the way hip-hop is now. It's grown up enough so that it can get involved with politics if it feels like it.

I guess hip-hop has been closer to the pulse of the streets than any music we've had in a long time. It's sociology as well as music, which is in keeping with the tradition of black music in America.

We have this really retro vibe and style of songwriting and, personally, I wasn't embracing the current state of music until I fell in love with hip-hop. It felt good to suddenly embrace where music was headed, and I think hip-hop is the best at that, because it feels so progressive and everybody wants to be the best.

I grew up in Chicago, so hip-hop has always been a part of my life.

Hip-hop is all over the planet.

Hip-hop is a cultural expression - it's embracing.

I think when people say 'real hip-hop,' they want it more buried in the streets. They want it more connected to the streets and the grime and the roughness of the streets. They don't want the fluff.

I come from a world of hip-hop, but I love all types of music, and that's what Revolt will reflect. It will be home to electronic dance music, pop, hip-hop.

I love the hip-hop nation.
